This time I’d like to share Speedway at Nazareth (from his second solo record Sailing to Philadelphia).

It’s an intense piece of music, especially when live played, and the last minutes spread so much energy: Mark playing his own style, the fast rolling drum, moving bass line plus the Hammond that adds some additional arabesques.

The case was serious, the problem interesting, and one that must be solved as soon as possible. Thus, highly excited, Barbicane’s moral energy triumphed over physical weakness, and he rose to his feet. He listened. Outside was perfect silence; but the thick padding was enough to intercept all sounds coming from the earth. But one circumstance struck Barbicane, viz., that the temperature inside the projectile was singularly high. The president drew a thermometer from its case and consulted it.
